Assigning Customers to Customer Groups

In order to make use of your new customer group, you will need to assign customers to that group. There are several ways you can add customers to a customer group, including adding customers to groups in batches.

 

Method 1:

If you navigate in your admin to Customers > All Customers this will bring up the Customer Management page which has a filterable table of all your registered customers. Note: the columns in your table may look different than the ones below based on how you have them configured.

From this table you can select the customer you would like to edit and change their customer group directly from the table by clicking the group they are currently assigned to.

This will then open the drop-down menu for you to select which customer group you’d like this customer to be assigned to.

Method 2: 

Another way to change customer groups for a customer is from the Customer Account page.

From your admin, navigate to Customers > All Customers to bring up the Customer Management page with all your registered customers. Note: The columns in your table may look different than the ones below based on how you have them configured.

From the table of customers on the Customer Management page, select which customer you want to edit, scroll to the right side of the table and click on Edit in that customer’s row.

 

Select Edit from the Right Side of the Customer Table

 

This will bring up the Customer Information Management screen for that customer. On this page, navigate to the Account Information tab in the lefthand menu:
